The Press Up

Agonist - Pectorals (Chest).
Synergist - Triceps.
Fixators - Abdominals, Posterior Chain.
Antagonist - Latissimus Dorsi.

Position - keep the body long and strong, you should be able to draw a line from the heels or knees up the length of the thigh, through the hips and the length of the core and to the shoulders.

We then need to look forward and keep the core and legs strong and tight. The first movement should be the elbows slightly bending and the whole body moving towards the floor. Move through a comfortable range of movement.
To return to the top the elbows need to be driven towards each other and the core kept long and strong, tensing the chest and triceps.

Tomorrow I am going to post about the press ups.

Firstly though a couple of terms for everyone.

Prime Mover or Agonist is the primary muscle that provides the driving force for the action.

Synergists are the muscles that help the Prime Mover during the action.
Fixators muscles that assist by supporting joints during a movement.

Stabilizers are as they sound muscles that act to stabilise bones.

Antagonist muscles are other muscle that usually does the opposite movement to the Prime Mover.

For example:

During a Bicep Curl.
Agonist - Biceps
Antagonist - Triceps
Fixators - Trapezium

Understand what happens where and when or should happen during an exercise really helps when you are wanting to improve.

Hello everyone!!! Finally we have some sort of date for returning to our normal gym routine. Hopefully we will be back to it around April 12th.

In preparation for this, I am going to be doing a break down of an exercise a week (Possibly 2 a week depending on how it goes).
This is aimed as a starting point to get those like me that have taken a back burner on fitness and exercise during lockdown or for those just wanting to learn and improve their movement and understanding of these exercises.

I hope everyone is doing well and keeping safe.
